new_media Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The new Strokes while cranking out 7 miles on the treadmill. The album got pretty poor reviews, but with my expectations effectively lowered, it really wasn't too bad. Perhaps it was the endorphins. Link to comment

eatapc Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Willy DeVille "(Live)" -- a great album musically and sonically. I listened to "Layla" from beginning to end earlier this week. But after an album finishes I find it difficult to stop listening. Last night I spent 90 minutes playing "just one more track." - Mark B Mac Mini, Pure Music, iTunes, Lynx Hilo, Merrill Taranis amp, Seta Piccola phono preamp, Phil Jones Platinum Reference One speakers, Sennheiser HD 600 headphones.

jhwalker Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The way things work at my house, the only time I have to myself is early in the morning. Because my "listening room" is far from the bedrooms, I'm able to listen without disturbing my partner, and I usually listen to an album or two before he gets up and about. This morning, it's the Bolling Suite No. 2 for Flute and Jazz Piano trio, original recording with Bolling and Rampal. Very charming.

Paul R Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Or in English, District 13: Ultimatum I loved this soundtrack in the movie, and my darling wife ordered an imported CD of the soundtrack for Father's Day. It's in French, and sort of electronic oriented, but utterly fantastic music, and well engineered too. I even like the psuedo-rap tracks on it. As a side benefit, if you want to learn to cuss in French, the first track is a master's class. The very first time I have ever heard a phrase "bleeped" out on a CD. But enjoyable despite the minor annoyance of some rude language in the first track. If you don't speak French it ain't gonna bother you anyway! By the way, the movie is great too, as is the first one. Mindless, Luc Besson stuff, but utterly fun. -Paul Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat DAC. Robert A.

rancew Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 HDNet showed a mini-concert of Judas Preist doing a live performance of their classic album "British Steel" from beginning to end. The occasion was the celebration of its 30-year anniversary. WOW! Rob Halford and the boys tore it up. He's still got one of the best voices in the biz. This was a great performance of a classic album from the metal genre. Precision and power to perfection! Rance Link to comment
mwheelerk Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was listening this morning to that album. I love his stuff and I have all three of his titles (at least I think three is all he has) including the newest available as a high res download at HD Tracks. "A mind is like a parachute.
